Question
How is pediatric mycosis enteritis treated? I have been supplementing Jinfangqi and Lizuling for the past four days, but the fecal examination results have not improved, and the frequency of bowel movements has not decreased.
Answer
The cause of pediatric mycosis enteritis often involves overly damp feeding environments or spoiled moldy food, or it may result from improper feeding practices such as long-term feeding of refined feed or excessive animal feed. This condition is more common in adults, with symptoms including black and yellow spots in the lower abdomen, which are prone to breaking when pressed, adhesion between the stomach wall and the intersegmental membrane, slow movement, slowed growth, lack of mating behavior, and failure to lay eggs. In severe cases, the intersegmental membrane ruptures and exudes foul liquid leading to death; or the gastropods accumulate food in their stomachs and are unable to digest it for a long time, eventually leading to starvation and death. When treating this condition, one should consider adjusting the feeding environment.
